Business management and service scheduling software for auto service<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Altegio is scheduling software for automotive businesses: clients book a repair, a tire change or a car wash online, every technician, bay and lift keeps its own calendar, and the shop runs client records, parts Inventory, Payroll and Analytics in one system<\/p>\n\t\t

How Altegio works in an auto shop<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Setting up automotive scheduling software takes an evening, and an Altegio expert walks you through it. Here is the whole path from an empty account to a running car service<\/p>\n\t\t

\n
\n \t\t\t

01<\/p>\n\t\t

\n \t\t\t

Add services, bays, and mechanics<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Enter your service list with prices and durations, then add bays, lifts, and the tire station as resources and attach them to the services that need them<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

02<\/p>\n\t\t

\n \t\t\t

Put the booking link where clients look for you<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Add the Online Booking widget to your website, the booking link to Instagram and WhatsApp, and a Book online button to your Google Maps listing<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

03<\/p>\n\t\t

\n \t\t\t

Appointments land in the calendar by bay<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Every booking takes a free bay and a free mechanic, the client gets a confirmation, and a reminder goes out by WhatsApp, SMS, or push before the visit<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

04<\/p>\n\t\t

\n \t\t\t

Close the job and the numbers add up themselves<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Parts are written off from Inventory by the bill of materials, the receipt lands in Finance, Payroll counts the mechanic's percentage, and Analytics shows bay occupancy<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

Apps both for front-desk computer and every team member's phone<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Altegio is the same system on the receptionist's computer and in your mechanics' pockets: the front desk keeps the full calendar on a big screen, technicians see their own shifts in the mobile app, and access permissions decide who sees the money<\/p>\n\t\t

Clients book your car service 24\/7<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Google Maps, Instagram, messengers or a QR code: put your Online Booking link wherever clients look for you.

In Altegio, bays, lifts, and equipment are bookable resources. Attach a resource to a service, and the scheduling engine only offers slots where a suitable bay is actually free: two clients can never book the same lift at the same hour<\/p>\n\t\t

FAQ about automotive service software<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Answers to the questions auto shop owners ask us most often<\/p>\n\t\t

\n
\n \t\t\t

What is auto service scheduling software like Altegio?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Appointment scheduling software for auto shops lets clients book repairs, tire changes, and detailing online, and gives the shop one calendar for every bay and mechanic. Client records, parts Inventory, Payroll, and Analytics come on top, so the whole car service runs on one system.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/article>\n

\n \t\t\t

Can clients book car services online 24\/7?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. Online Booking in Altegio works around the clock: clients book from your website, Instagram, Google Maps, or a QR code at any hour, including evenings and weekends when nobody is at the phone.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/article>\n

\n \t\t\t

Can I manage bays, lifts, and technician workloads in Altegio?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. Bays, lifts, and equipment are bookable resources with their own calendars. The scheduling engine never books two clients onto the same lift, and Analytics shows each bay's occupancy.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/article>\n

\n \t\t\t

Can I store the car's make, model, and license plate?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. In Altegio you add custom fields to the booking form and the client card: make, model, plate, mileage. The client's full visit and payment history is saved automatically.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/article>\n

\n \t\t\t

How does Altegio reduce no-shows?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Automatic confirmations and reminders go out by WhatsApp, SMS, or push at the time you choose. After a cancellation or no-show, the system invites the client to rebook on its own.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/article>\n

\n \t\t\t

Does it track parts and consumables?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. Altegio writes off parts automatically when a job closes, using the bill of materials attached to each service, and Inventory tracks arrivals, balances, and stocktaking.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/article>\n

\n \t\t\t

Does Altegio handle payroll and finances?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. Payroll rules calculate pay for percentage-based mechanics automatically, and Finance shows revenue, expenses, and cash flow.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/article>\n

\n \t\t\t

Does it work for car washes, detailing studios, and tire shops?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. Every automotive business type runs on the same Altegio calendar, resources, and Inventory: car washes, detailing studios, tire shops, and auto repair garages.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/article>\n

\n \t\t\t

Can I manage several locations or a chain of auto centers in Altegio?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. Run scheduling for an unlimited number of service points from one account: chain Analytics compares locations, and access permissions control who sees what.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/article>\n

\n \t\t\t

How much does it cost, and is there a free trial?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Altegio starts with a free 7-day trial: no credit card, no per-booking fees, and onboarding with an expert included. After the trial, pricing depends on your team size.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/article>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n
